The Letter

This is from a poster hanging up in my room, painted and written by Eric Samuel Timm:

You are one of many yet alone in one kind. Truly unique. I have spoken yet you have not listened. I have forgiven you for your closed ears. Many are your plans, but it is my purpose for your life that will prevail should you choose a higher calling: the calling that I have for you. Do you not want to finish your course? I have groomed your path. Must you walk another way? The road ahead is not easy. You have made a mess of some areas, brought forth obstructions, but know that I am with you. I long to be near you. I cannot force you to have a will near to my own. I fight for your soul. If you only knew of the love I have for you, there would be less options in your mind. There is only one right answer. Do not push me away. My creation, choose to believe. Speak to me. Follow me. Pick up your sword and fight to know me. I am knocking, invite me. Seek after me with all of your heart and every bit of your strength and you will find me. You shall rest in the peace that I have for you. Plans to keep you. Please try. You must fight a good fight. You must keep your faith. Do not fall to deception or trickery. Satan seeks to disable you. He has won some ground but I am claiming you back. A day will come that will bring to your remembrance this. You shall look into my face, a changed creation, one you have not met yet. Green pastures lie ahead, but you must fight through thorns and brush to get there. Please believe my message. I deem you worthy of future success. I stand all around you. Where ever you go I will follow. When I go you shall know. The emptiness you have needs my mercy filling, come to the water my river runs deep.
Believe. Do not Doubt.
Walk Forward.
The war is raging. Rage on.
